Kabanata 534: Chapter 534 - Unexpected Changes

While the residents of the camp slowly succumbed to their daily struggles and laid their heads down and rested, far to the northwest of them, somewhere under the ground, in a dimly lit chamber, a special holding cell, a long black-haired boy sat in a meditative pose, cross-legged. 

His eyes closed his hands resting over his kneecaps, his mind clear, focusing on the mantra, the teachings of his dear master. He was focused on trying to recoup as much energy in the time he was left alone as he could. 

With no true understanding of what was going on, where he was, and most importantly, who were his captors, and why did they take him alive, he couldn't allow himself even a second to relax, to feel at ease. He needed to be ready for when his captors would come to his jail cell.
